Title: | An ascendant challenge: Central nervous system metastases in ALK+ lung cancers |
Abstract: | Central nervous system (CNS) metastases constitute a challenge for the design of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion–positive lung cancer trials. The ASCEND-7 study of ceritinib demonstrates the feasibility of broadening CNS eligibility criteria to include symptomatic brain and leptomeningeal disease and highlights design features that contemporary trials will need to incorporate. © 2022 American Association for Cancer Research |
